Bacon ice cream and nugget overload sees misfiring McDonald's AI withdrawn

McD

McDonald's is removing artificial intelligence (AI) powered ordering technology from its drive-through restaurants in the US, after customers shared its comical mishaps online.

A trial of the system, which was developed by IBM and uses voice recognition software to process orders, was announced in 2019.

It has not proved entirely reliable, however, resulting in viral videos of bizarre misinterpreted orders ranging from bacon-topped ice cream to hundreds of dollars' worth of chicken nuggets.

"I'm hating it: McDonald's AI-powered drive-thru sucks."

I didn't know McDonald's had AI-powered drive-thrus.

"Videos posted to TikTok are illustrating just how woefully ill-prepared automation is at taking fast food orders."

Just watch the video clips. Robot takeover not going as planned.

do you want this future ???

A McDonald’s location has opened in White Settlement, TX, that is almost entirely automated. Since it opened in December 2022, public opinion is mixed. Many are excited but many others are concerned about the impact this could have on millions of low-wage service workers. [source]
